The last Czar Romanov was Nicholas II, son of Alexander III and grandson of Alexander II. Alexander II was called "The Liberating Czar", for he freed the slaves in 1861. Despite this, he was assassinated by a terrorist group called "The Will of the People" (Narodna Volya). Nicholas was young, but he saw his grandfather being torn apart by a bomb and suffering a lot to die.
After the death of his grandfather, his father, Alexander III, became the Czar. Alexander III did not give the Russian people the constitution that Alexander II was preparing.Alexander II was undoubtedly the most enlightened Tsar Romanov.
Nicholas, at the age of sixteen, met Princess Alix of Hesse on the occasion of the marriage of his uncle Serge with Princess Elizabeth of Hesse, Alix's older sister. He was very impressed with the girl, and when he saw her grow up years later, he fell in love with her and decided to ask her to marry him. Alix, when marrying with Nicolau, happened to be called Alexandra Fedorovna. When they married, Tsar Alexander III had already died and Nicholas was already Nicholas II, the Tsar of all Russia.

The couple had four daughters ... One after another. Only none of them could be the heir to the throne. According to a decree of Czar Paul, no woman could be a ruling Tsarina. The throne of Russia could only be occupied by men. In Nicholas's case, his successor, if he had no children, would be his brother Mikhail. This almost happened when Nicolau got sick with typhus, but he recovered. Nicolau had other brothers: Georg died of tuberculosis at age 28 and was older than Mikhail and Alexander, older than Nicholas, lived briefly: born in 1869 and died in 1870.
In the summer of 1904, however, the Tsarina gave birth to a boy, who was called Alexei. Alexei became, at birth, the heir to the throne, the Czarevich. But Alexei had hemophilia, a terrible disease transmitted by his mother to his son. Alexandra was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, who was known to carry the hemophilia gene. The queen had two hemophiliac sons and her daughters Alice (Czarina Alexandra's mother) and Beatriz were carriers of the same gene. The precarious boy eventually weakened the health of the Czarina, who was no longer good. Because of his illness arose the phenomenon Rasputin. The people did not know about Alexei's disease. This matter was a state secret, and therefore the presence of Rasputin in the middle of the imperial family aroused much suspicion. Because they did not know what was going on, the people speculated, made the most stupid ideas about the relations of Alexandra, the Tsar and their children with Rasputin.

The family of the last Romonov is known worldwide for being decimated in the fateful dawn of July 16, 1918.

And in 1981, they were canonized by Russian Ortodox Church Abroad as Martyrs, later in 2000, canonized by the Patriarch of Moscow as "passion bearers".
Romanov Dinasty:
Do the descendants of the Romanov still occupy a throne?
The answer to this question may surprise some and not be big news to others, but it is a large and extensive yes.
The family of the last Czar may not have moved on, but this did not completely eliminate the blood of the Romanovs who still remain strong and in power in several European countries and promise to remain so for at least another generation.

Denmarck:
Within the royal families still on the throne, that of Queen Margaret II is the one who has a more direct relationship with the Romanovs.
His maternal grandmother was Princess Alexandrina of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, daughter of Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna. This was not the Grand Duchess who was immortalized in films and books, but the only daughter of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich, son of Tsar Nicholas I, who reigned in the Russian Empire between 1825 and 1855.
But the connections do not end here. Queen Margaret is also the niece-great-granddaughter of Empress Maria Feodorovna, a Danish princess, daughter of King Christian IX, who married Czar Alexander III.
Maria Feodorovna was the mother of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, and grandmother of the films Anastasia. To end the family connections, Margarida II is also the pentaneta of another Russian grand duchess: Helena Pavlovna, daughter of Czar Paul I and granddaughter of Empress Catherine the Great.
There are still more descendants in the Netherlands, Greece, the UK and Spain.
